This ICD provides the much-needed flexibility to the beleaguered trade in North India in sending their cargoes through ports other than the heavily congested and still much-preferred Nhava Sheva container terminal in Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT). Given the congestion at Nhava Sheva, the CFS at ICD Dadri helps the trade in North India to consolidate the cargo here rather than pile them up at JNPT and send them through other ports such as Mundra, Pipavav or Visakhapatnam. This gives greater flexibility to the growing Northern India trade in using other ports instead of getting stuck at Nhava Sheva or JNPT. While the adjoining rail terminal will provide rail link to ports such as Mundra, Kandla, Pipavav, JNPT/NSICT, Chennai, Vizag and Kolkata, the Dadri terminal also has the advantage of road movement across major trading centres covering Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Rail linkages to the Dadri ICD are provided through Dadri stations which falls on the New Delhi-Howrah route of the North Central Railway.
